Install Picasa 3
With all the focus on Google right now I thought I'd write a nice howto with the latest version of Picasa running on Wine. Interestingly enough, Picasa recognizes that it is running on Linux even though it is running through Wine.

Matrox G400/G450
Beeing a novice I'm having difficulties getting a G400 to work in 1024x1280 with Ubuntu 8.04 on a desktop PC. I have installed the desktop version and the result is that I can choose between 400x300, 640x480 and 800x600 I have searched google and found some advice trying a command like: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but the configuration never contains anything about the display properties, only something about keyboards!!!!! I have also tried to edit the /etc/x11/xorg.conf but it contains no line with displ resolution or anything like it.
